SINTAKSIČKO-STILISTIČKE KARAKTERISTIKE JEDINICA BEZ PREDIKATA U ROMANU „TVRĐAVA“ MEŠE SELIMOVIĆA

Abstract

In the novel The Fortress by Mesa Selimovic, we have noticed various deviations from the usual sentence structure. Since the focus of the paper is units without a predicate which are statements, the examples from the novel are analyzed from a syntactic and stylistic standpoint. We have singled out the units that are a product of partial sentence structure and are contextually based, followed by contextually based questions, statements in the Vocative case as opposed to the Nominative and statements that show a great degree of independence within the context. This independence is related to the formal plan of the aforementioned units, seeing that their meaning is still in close relation to the context. While contextually dependent units contribute to the emotional aspect and dynamics of the narration, the contextually independent units pacify the narrative, summarize it and add to the vividness and symbolism of the prose text.
